Woah! Even on iOS?
- quenix 4y agoNah. I remember this went viral at a point when the first developer betas of iOS 14 (or was if 13?) came out and IOS started reporting clipboard accesses. For a while during those early betas, it seemed TikTok was accessing the clipboard every few minutes. Apparently it turned out to be innocuous—the app qas checking for TikTok links on the clipboard to show them to the user? Something like that. Other apps had the same issue (I think Telegram comes to mind?)
- ajsnigrutin 4y agoTelegram doesn't do that, atleast not for me, since android reports (via toaster popup) clipboard access now too.
- quenix 4y agoYes, I forgot to mention that this was a transient issue which got fixed by most apps (including tiktok) some time ago.
